EspañolPRO BONO PUBLICO
(Redirected from Pro bono)
'''Pro bono publico''' (often shortened to '''pro bono''') is a phrase derived from Latin meaning "for the public good." The term is sometimes used to describe professional work undertaken voluntarily and without payment, as a public service. It is common in the legal profession and is increasingly seen in marketing, technology and strategy consulting firms. Unlike traditional volunteerism, pro bono service leverages the specific skills of professionals to provide services to those who are unable to afford them.
In the legal profession, ''pro bono'' counsel may assist an individual or group on a legal case, in filing government applications or petitions or on appeal. If the case is won, occasionally the judge may determine that the loser should compensate the ''pro bono'' counsel.
In the UK, "pro bono publico" is sometimes used to describe the central motivation of large organisations such as the BBC, the National Health Service and various NGOs, which exist "for the public good" rather than for shareholder profit as well as legal or professional work.[1]
Lawyers in the United States are recommended under American Bar Association (ABA) ethical rules to contribute at least fifty hours of ''pro bono'' service per year.[2] Some state bar associations, however, may recommend fewer hours. The New York State Bar Association, for example, recommends just twenty hours of ''pro bono'' service annually,[3] while the New York City Bar promulgates the same recommendation as the ABA.[4]
